Abstract: At the beginning the Science Society of China used the revolutionary journal networks to publish, distribute and advertise Kexue. After returning to China, it received financial support from the constitutionalists and squires in Jiansu and Zhejiang Provinces, and established the library and the biological laboratory. After the National Government was founded at Nanjing in 1927, with the close relationship with the Nationalists, its plan of Chinese science development was basically materialized. During the Second Civil War between the Communists and the Nationalists, Kexue took part in the political propaganda leaded by the Chinese Association of Scientific Workers. Even so, the Science Society of China was forced to dissolution after the founding of People’s Republic of China. By presenting this new story of the Science Society of China, this paper suggests that the development of the Science Society was directly related to political changes and social conditions, and also affected by the international influences, especially from America and England. With the professionalization of science advanced by the Science Society, both the society and its Kexue also were forced to modify their roles and functions.
